Every night, when I see you dining alone
I burn with affection
In the light of the candlesticks, I know
You see my reflection
Im the guy sitting 3 tables down the row
Too afraid to eat, so Im drinking alone
By my own count, 4,000 tears run down your face
They fill the oceans with humility and grace
Stare out my window at the unhappy human race
I dont know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I never meant to see you dining alone
Every night, when I see you crying alone
I keep my distance
When the sun deserts us, turning tears cold
I lose all resistance
See, Im the guy who lives just across the road
The one who never lets his feelings known
By my own count, 4,000 tears run down your face
They fill the oceans with humility and grace
Stare out my window at the unhappy human race
I dont know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I never meant to see you crying alone
